Philips Optimal NIV pairs the right technology with the right training to help ensure success across the spectrum of care. The respiratory technology - the devices, circuits and patient interfaces - offers the flexibility needed for advanced patient care. The training - knowing what technique to use, how to use it and when it may be appropriate - offers knowledge that not only helps enhance patient care but also can benefit the bottom line in a big way.

    Rethink Respiratory Care

     

    Patient condition dictates treatment, but sometimes more than one technique may be appropriate. When multiple techniques are viable, more frequent use of NIV – with or without complementary HFT – can help reduce the higher costs of IMV. More importantly, managing NIV can help improve patient care.

    NIV is a long-standing and well-known technique, but there’s a difference between adequate and optimal, and it relies on an entire ecosystem – from the device, circuits and patient interfaces to the clinician, patient and condition. Philips Optimal NIV is a novel way to look at NIV. It pairs the right technology with the right training to help ensure success across the spectrum of care.

    Patient using HFT

    Philips ventilators offer a range of features designed to help enhance treatment, including advanced synchrony to help reduce NIV failure, and complementary therapies like HFT to help reduce delays from transitioning between modalities.

    The robust portfolio of patient interfaces offers complete versatility to help ensure the proper fit for every patient. And Philips support offers expert training to help inform your technique and patient interface selection, keep your skills sharp and increase your clinical confidence.

    Enhance patient care

    Knowing when to use HFT or NIV instead of IMV - and how tomanage NIV - can help enhance patient care.

     

    • Resulted in a 16% reduction in mortality¹
    • Reduced hospital length of stay by more than 3 days²
    • Reduced risk of reintubation by 62% in hypercapnic patients placed on NIV with HFT vs HFT alone³

    Manage your costs

    Using IMV or failing on NIV has significant financial impacts. Managing NIV and increasing use benefit the bottom line.

     

    • Choosing NIV over IMV can save an average of $24,000 per patient.⁴
    • Failing on NIV costs an average of $55,000 per failure⁴

    Transitioning between respiratory techniques

    Clinicians can manage patients in respiratory failure using a range of respiratory techniques – usually based on the need for oxygenation support alone or the need for both oxygenation and ventilation support. HFT provides a high level of oxygenation but only limited and somewhate variable ventilation support. NIV provides both oxygenation and entilation support. Other factors, such as the patient interface and device performance, can be consideratinos in determining when to use a particular modality once oxygenation and ventilatory needs are addressed.

    Timely transition of therapies is important - whether escalation or de-escalation of therapy - or providing HFT between NIV sessions. Although the ability to escalate therapy is important, preventing the delay of intubation in patients who need invasive mechanical ventilation requires understanding and recognition of predictors of failure.
